Zoom Club

King Crimson
Frankfurt
13 Oct 1972

In the excitement and stomach-churning anticipation before going on stage for this incarnation of Crimson's debut performance, one of the newly-formed five piece anxiously enquired [endtease]"What are we going to play?" Jamie Muir chipped in "Oh, Let's improvise."
And they did.
Quite a few in the audience that night would have been at the same club 18 months earlier to see the debut of the Islands-era Crim. And it's a fair bet that many were hoping to hear their old favourites.

But what they got was something entirely different.
What this show lacks in audio fidelity, it more than makes up for in the unique musical content: long improvisations and early transitional arrangements of better-known pieces.

This restored bootleg was first released on CD as KCCC20 in 2002.


A great show!
